about

Originally released on Jester Records in 2004, Obliterated is less experimental and more about driving, intricately programmed beats.

The Wire wrote: "Music like this requires a watchmaker's attention to detail, capturing, taming and framing an infinity of digital fragments, pinning each into its allotted space on the sequencer's remorseless timeline. Perhaps it's because Ruud is so focused on the minutiae of his music that the bigger picture creeps up unnoticed -- shadowy, inchoate emotions that loom, ghostlike, between and beyond the meticulous precision of the beats."
